environmental, engineering or agricultural studies. Up to three scholarships will be awarded this
year.

Students in the company’s 14-county service area (Bourbon, Clark, Fayette, Franklin, Gallatin,
Grant, Harrison, Jackson, Jessamine, Nicholas, Owen, Rockcastle, Scott and Woodford counties) are

“Today’s students will become tomorrow’s leaders, and we believe it is important to recognize and
reward those who are committed to protecting our natural resources, today and in the future. We
encourage all students who are leaders in activities or projects that preserve the environment to
apply,” said Kentucky American Water President Nick Rowe. “We look forward to reviewing this year’s
